Mount partitions 
  1. For hard drive: 
    • Find type of partition 
    • Decide between read-only and read-write 
    • Run 

      • mount -t type /dev/??? /mount-point
  2. For CD-ROM 
    • Format always ISO9660 
    • Usually make device /dev/cdrom by running: 

      • ln -s /dev/??? /dec/cdrom
    • Run 

      • mount -t iso9660 /dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom
